Akshaye Khanna living it out in Kerala

Akshaye Khanna is presently shooting in Alleppey, Kerala with one of his favorite directors Priyadarshan for his forthcoming film which is yet to get a title.

Akshaye and Priyadarshan, as a team have been consistently delivering hits like ‘Hulchul, ‘Hungama’, and with their latest venture, are sure to be on a hit track record again. But besides shooting with his favorite director, Akshaye seems to be enjoying the breathtaking beauty of Kerala. It is Akshaye's first visit to the place, and he is amazed at the beauty of ‘God's Own Country’. He is chilling out in a plush houseboat, in the backwaters of the state.

The locals have told him how the houseboats of today have evolved from the traditional kettuvallams and are equipped with all modern amenities like plush carpets, bedrooms with attached bath and on board food.

And surely Akshaye seems to be enjoying every bit of the shoot in this land of lagoons, beaches and the un-spoilt backwaters. Says Akshaye, "I am enjoying my stay in a houseboat out here. It's a different experience altogether. Kerala is such a beautiful place. I am charmed by its beauty. There is so much of tranquil calm in the backwaters of Kerala."  Well, for now it’s mixing business with pleasure for Akshaye.  -(SAMPURN)
